Tang riddles

The son is just over, and the sun has reached the twelfth day of the sixth month.In a medium-sized county like Hebi, there are no recreational activities at night. The city is completely silent, and every household has already gone to sleep with their lights off and their doors closed.On the street, apart from the night watchmen, there were only a few militiamen on the night watch walking through the city holding lanterns and yawning.

As soon as the militiamen passed by, a figure in nocturnal black, with a person on his shoulders, quickly flashed out of the shadows of the roadside buildings.The city was pitch black, and the light from the lanterns of the night watch militiamen could not illuminate the darkness where the man was. His footsteps were flying, silently, and he walked quickly on the street with the man on his shoulders.

The person on his shoulder didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he didn't move at all, but swayed weakly as he walked.

Not long after, the black shadow had already arrived at the gate of Guiyan Post with the man on his back.He first hid in the dark and looked around vigilantly, but found nothing wrong.So he quickly sprang out from the dark, and jumped up the rammed earth wall of Guiyan Station, which was not too high.He squatted on the wall for a while, and observed the situation inside Guiyan Station again. Seeing that the courtyard was empty and no one was there, he felt relieved and threw the person on his shoulder onto the ground in the courtyard. He fell to the ground with a sound, spread his arms and legs, and there was no movement at all, as if he was completely dead.

The black shadow no longer cared about waking up the people in the courtyard, and immediately jumped off the wall and ran back quickly.His direction was towards the busiest county fair.

Heiying walked the streets and alleys, obviously familiar with the roads in the county, he took the nearest road and came all the way to the entrance of Baizhan Inn.There is a brass lock on the door, which was locked by someone from Qianyumen.Right now, there is no one in the Baizhan Inn, but after all, it is considered the property of Qianyumen, and no one can let anyone in casually, so a lock has been added.

The black figure didn't go through the main entrance, but took a few steps back, accelerated his running, then jumped up, stepped on the stone drum at the entrance, and rushed up to the cornice tiles on the second floor.He stepped on the tiles, and walked a few steps like a civet cat, then pushed open the second window from the east of the five rooms, and entered the Baizhan Inn in a flash.

This is the dining hall of the Baizhan Inn. It is a restaurant that receives in-house and top-notch guests on weekdays. It is pitch black and empty at the moment.As soon as he came in, he hurriedly covered the window.If you look carefully, the wooden blocks around the bolt under the window can be moved from the outside, and you can't see this ingenuity at all after putting it back together.

Heiying heaved a sigh of relief, without turning on the lamp, he took out a bundle from the corner, and started changing clothes in the dark.Just as he took off his mask and was about to untie the belt of his night clothes, he heard a leisurely voice in the darkness, which frightened him out of his wits. His legs gave way and he fell to the floor with a "dong" sound. Muffled.

"Shopkeeper, you are very skillful, Shen admires you."

As soon as the words were spoken, a gleam of fire flashed in the darkness, and an oil lamp was lit.On a bench not far away, one person sat there quietly holding a knife, while the other two stood behind her, silently.

The faint fire light illuminated the black shadow's cheeks. A middle-aged man with a short beard and a bloodless face was looking at the three people who were sitting and standing in amazement. He was speechless, unable to utter a word. .

The person sitting was not in a hurry, there was still a cup of hot tea by her hand, she picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and said unhurriedly:

"Shopkeeper, you just sent me a big gift bag to Qianyumen, and you didn't ask us if Qianyumen would like to accept it. You are too polite, I accepted the gift bag, but then those who framed and threatened me Don't stage the threatening drama, it looks boring."

"You you you you..." The middle-aged man who was called "the shopkeeper" pointed at her tremblingly, but still couldn't say a word.

"Me, me, me?" She stood up, walked towards the middle-aged man with a smile, cupped her hands, and said with a smile, "Hehehe, I've been waiting for the shopkeeper for a long time."

"You...how would you know..."

Shen Sui stood still five steps away from the shopkeeper, with a knife in his left hand and a shoulder in his right hand, and said with a smile:

"Well, it's my fault, I came here uninvited late at night, and scared the shopkeeper, I have to explain why.

It's like this, when I went to this inn today, I saw something wrong at first glance at the exterior.There are a pair of stone drums at the door, the one on the left seems to be worn out, and some mud spots remain on it.This stone drum is also more than half the height of a person, and it seems too far-fetched to say that it was splashed with mud.It's not right to say that it's a child's fun to climb up. This mud point has only been glued in the past few days. Right now, everyone in Hebi avoids the Baizhan Inn, and no one will come to climb the Baizhan Inn. The stone drum in front of the door.This is doubt one.

The second doubt is that the roof tiles on the first floor of the main gate are uneven, loose and a few pieces are broken.But only the east side has this phenomenon, not the west side, it should be trampled on the east side many times.

There is still a third doubt, which is the window.The window frame was loose and tilted outwards, and the wood under the window frame was polished to a shiny surface, which was obviously a phenomenon that was often rubbed open from the outside.

Oh, you don't know, there is a Taoist priest next to me who watches Fengshui for people all the year round, looks at yin and yang houses, and enters the buildings in the house. If there are not a hundred, there are eighty. Looking at the building, you can know the harmony and disharmony in an instant.If he hadn't reminded me, maybe even I would have overlooked these trivial flaws.

So I thought, this is probably someone who is quite familiar with the inn, who has been climbing and coming in and out through this window these days.The Baizhan Inn has already been bought by Qianyumen, who would act so secretly?It seems that in the past the guys at this inn were the most suspicious.I inquired about it. Back then, it was you who led Tang Shisan and his party into the Tianzihao room.Afterwards, the hot water, tea and food are all delivered to the Tianzihao room by you yourself.The most important thing is that some staff said that before Tang Shisan and others arrived, you rejected two wealthy businessmen who wanted to book a Tianzihao room. None of the guys knew who this person who had already made a reservation was.

You seem to have known Tang Shisanlang a long time ago.

But I was surprised again, why did you go so hard to climb into the Baizhan Inn?Is there anything in it that you can't let go of?I can't figure it out, and if I can't figure it out, I don't want to. I'll stay here and let you tell me the answer.Who I am, I think you know very well, you also have a lot of eyeliners in this Hebi County, once I entered the city, you all followed me.I went into the Baizhan Inn to investigate, and there must be your eyeliner peeping in the dark.So I said that I had seen through Tang Shisan's escape plan, and decided not to investigate the Baizhan Inn again, so you can rest assured that you will take action tonight.

It seems that my guess is right. Although Tang Shisan escaped, he will not make it easy for me. He prepared a welcome gift for me, which really flattered me. "

She counted with her fingers, and said: "In conclusion, today is the seventh day since Tang Shisan escaped from the Baizhan Inn after murdering someone. The death message he left me, the 'seven' made up of corpses, I reckon, also It means that something will happen today. And it will take me no more than seven days from Heyang all the way to Baizhan Inn, which is all in his calculation. What Tang Shisan left for me will definitely happen today. Give it to me. It seems that I guessed right, it was sent to me this early in the morning."

At this time, there were footsteps going upstairs, and after a while, three more people came up, two of them were carrying another person.They put the person at Shen Sui's feet, and said:

"Master, it's here."

Shen Sui nodded, knelt down, leaned forward to look at the person who was placed on the ground, and said:

"This person has his head shaved and his hair is tied up. His hair style is different from that of my heaven/chao Shang country. This hair style belongs to the Japanese people's hair style. The clothes on his body are also the Japanese style. But this person is not Dongying people, but your inn’s clerk. Looking at his scalp and his hair, it was obviously shaved off after his death. My people asked in this county, it seems that there was a clerk in the daytime After the accident at the Zhan Inn, he disappeared. This person is a refugee who fled from the country. He is alone and has no relatives. If you kill him, you don’t need to worry about someone looking for you.”

"I didn't kill people..." the middle-aged man said with a sad face.

Shen Sui didn't speak, but squatted in front of him, staring at him quietly.

"It was Tang Shisan who killed him. This guy accidentally broke the matter of his setting up the scene in the room, and he was poisoned to death with a poisonous needle. He later hid in the cellar where the restaurant cooks. Tang Shisan asked me to shave this man's head and change clothes, dress him up as a Dongying person, and send the body to Guiyan Station in the early morning of the [-]th, and then find a way to blame Guiyan Station for killing Dongying people, so that the government can get involved."

"Where did you get this clothes?" Shen Sui pointed to the Japanese-style clothes on the deceased.

"Tang Shisan gave it to me. One of Tang Shisan's dead thirteen subordinates was from Dongying. This clothes belonged to him." Confidentially.

Shen Sui frowned, stood up, turned around and said to the man under his opponent:

"Tang Shisan killed this person in an unexpected incident, which means that the death message he originally intended to convey with the corpse was not what he meant. He changed his mind temporarily and wanted to use this matter to confuse our judgment on the death message."

In the dim light of the fire, Huyan Zhuoma who was standing behind took a step forward and asked:

"Please tell the door master."

"The corpse was dressed up as a Dongying person and sent to Guiyan Station. This was obviously aimed at our Qianyumen, and it meant to threaten us not to continue tracking, otherwise we would kill Qianhe and her Yafu. But the seven-day message , not referring to this matter." Shen Sui seemed to be in confusion, "The seven-day message is for Li Jilan, and the other party should make other moves."

Shen Sui turned around again, and looked at the middle-aged man who was the shopkeeper. His bright eyes were sharp and clear in the darkness, frightening people:

"Who are you, why are you so athletic, and what is your relationship with Tang Shisan?"

"I... I used to be an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, and I also learned all my kung fu from the Tang Sect. I was kicked out of the sect because I violated the rules of the sect, but later Tang Shisan found me and once generously helped me. Afterwards, I accidentally learned that he was working for a mysterious religious organization. He threatened me that if I did not join, my whole family would be killed. I was forced to join the religion. However, my contact person was just Tang Shisan, only he can contact me, I really don't know anything."

"Has Tang Shisan ever revealed to you his next whereabouts?"

"No, he came this time, and it happened suddenly. I received the news that he was coming two days before he arrived. After he came, he stayed in the house of that day until he left. Explaining what I was going to do, and other things, he never mentioned a word to me. I was forced by him... as a last resort, I helped him find some clothes for cross-dressing, and gave him some money for the road."

"Who sent you the news?" Shen Sui asked eagerly.

"I don't know! I really don't know! That afternoon, it was the most deserted time in the inn. The guys were resting in the back, and I dozed off behind the counter alone. Then I felt a gust of wind blowing on my face and woke up. A letter appeared in front of me, informing me that Tang Shisan would arrive in two days, and asked me to leave the Tianzihao room for him. I... I can only do it..."

Shen Sui lingered, and said in his mouth:

"Tang Shisan took advantage of the special architectural layout of the Baizhan Inn to escape and hide. This Baizhan Inn should be the escape path he reserved for himself. And if he wants to take this escape path, someone must help him notify the Baizhan Inn in advance. It seems that the other party's communication ability is not weaker than Qianyumen's at all, Tang Shisan must have connected with someone on the way to escape, and delivered the news."

"Indeed, sect master, when we learned of Mrs. Yan's lurking identity that day, Mrs. Yan ran away immediately. This is enough to prove that the speed of the other party's communication is also extremely fast, which can compete with the speed of our Qianyu sect. "Huyan Zhuoma said.

Shen Sui took a deep breath: "This is troublesome. The other party is in the dark, and we are in the open. We are always being suppressed. I have to find a way to reverse the current situation, otherwise we can only be led by the nose."

"Master, what should we do now?" Huyan Zhuoma asked.

"The top priority is that we must arrive at Youzhou as soon as possible. There is our headquarters in Heshuo. There are news from all directions, and there are many helpers so that we will not be blind, deaf, or tied up. Give me an order to set off at dawn and change routes. I'm going to use movement to counteract silence, to strike first, and to see if the other party has any other moves."

"Then how to deal with this person?"

"Tie it on and don't let it go easily."

"This person also has a wife, children and mother at home."

"In this way, leave enough money for his wife, children, and mother, and say that this person has found a new job and traveled with us to do business. In addition, find a place to bury this guy."

"Here!"

The author has something to say: I reckon Sister Lian Maid hasn't come out for a few chapters, and some people can't stand it anymore. Your goddess will come out in the next chapter, so don't worry.
